Stallbron, Arch bridge in Gamla stan, Stockholm, Sweden

Stallbron is a steel arch bridge about 20 metres long over Stallkanalen, joining Riksgatan through the Parliament Building on Helgeandsholmen to Mynttorget on Stadsholmen. Its eastern single-arch span was made at Keillers mekaniska verkstad and inaugurated on 4 November 1904; a parallel span was added on its west side in 1982. Gated gaps in the street show the small space between the two bridges.

The location marks one of Stockholm's oldest crossing points, where the original Norrbro once served as the northern gateway of the city. The current eastern section was built in the early 1900s, and a parallel western section was added decades later to handle growing traffic.

The name Stallbron, in use since 1879, refers to the royal stables Gustav Vasa built on Helgeandsholmen in the 1530s. Beside the bridge stands one of the Riksäpplen, a red granite sculpture by Aron Johansson, architect of the Parliament Building. Since 1979 the bridge has been a pedestrian street.

Stallbron carries pedestrians between Mynttorget and Riksgatan; motor traffic has been barred since 1979, when the bridge and surrounding streets became pedestrian zones. A separate screened walkway beside the bridge, Rännarbanan, is reserved for members of the Riksdag. Look for the red granite Riksäpple by the bridge, designed by Aron Johansson.

The 1982 western section covers a passage, not a subway line: it links the Parliament Building with the Government Offices, and only members of the Riksdag may use it. Look for the gated gaps in the street between the two bridges, through which the small space between them is visible.
